The virtual infrastructure is the foundation of the platform. It contains the software-defined infrastructure, software-defined networking, and software-defined storage.
Compute Workload Domain
With Telco Cloud Platform RAN architecture, you can deploy and extend RAN applications into Regional Data Center and Cell Sites. The compute workload domain that you deploy on Regional Data Center (RDC) through Telco Cloud Automation can contain multiple Cell Site vSphere hosts, each running the user workloads to enable the RAN solution. These Cell Site hosts can include as small as one ESXi host and scale depending on the resource and availability requirements of the solution being deployed.
Each Cell Site compute workload domain can support up to 128 Cell Sites locations due to the 128 VDS limit per vCenter. Telco Cloud Automation dedicates a VDS for each Cell Site Host.
Also, when designing the Cell Sites for the Telco Cloud Platform RAN solution, review the vCenter maximum supported configurations for your scaling requirement.
Some of the supported configurations of vCenter maximums:
Type |
Maximum |
|---|---|
Hosts per vCenter |
2500 |
VDS per vCenter |
128 |
Hosts per VDS |
2000 |
